our ride to san francisco. the "old beetle". volkswagen just launched a new model. it's quite small but easy to drive. though i couldn't figure out how to turn on the lights when driving back. we parked at a very safe place, the carpark on vallejo street right across from central police station.
lots of great architecture in the city, including the classic buildings we always see in the movies, including some new interpretations of the designs.
the box contains a telephone to be used by the police. not sure if it is still in use though.
another classic view of the streets of san francisco. that was the name of a police drama on tv a long time ago - "the streets of san francisco". the steep hills in which you see cars flying through the air in movies are another iconic image of the city. this is the hill leading up to coit tower.
one of the remaining views from the hill on which coit tower is located. unfortunately, the views of alcatraz is now blocked by trees. strange. why would they let the trees grow so tall?
below, a plaque at the entrance to coit tower.
and finally on the theme "uphill", i thought i would include something sort of related. it deals with heights, or rather, working from heights. we were walking down from coit tower when we saw these guys. that's it for now. more on our san francisco adventure in the next posting.
